To all whom it may conferir:

Be it known that l, WILLIAM Pnnnooy, it citizen ot' the United States, residing nt Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State ot lvliehigzm, have invfnited tain new and useful Improvements in Building Apparatus and Method of Building Construction, oiwhieli the iol-A 4lowing is a specification.

My invention has for itsoojcct certain new und useful improvements in n building apparatus und method of building construction, :ind it consists of the meehnnism and method hereinafter described and Claimed and illustrated in the drawings submitted herewith, in

which.

Figure l is n View in side elevntien.` Fi01 in horizontal cross section. Fig. 3 n zontztlerossscction on nnenlnrged seule, on the line Fig' 4 is an end View of a gage embodying features of my' invention. Fig. 5 is at View in cross section on the line 5 5, Fig. 3. f

My invention pertnins'more pnrticulnrly'to an :1pparatus und method of constructing buildings by the use ot' nement, the cement portion of the structure he ing applied to form either the outside or the inside wit/Ils or both.

.As illustrated in the drawings, a represents the ordinrny studding of :t building erected in :my customary manner, My invention contemplates the employment of one or nore removable wnlls or plates inade in sections indicated at b, b, the stime being intended to be temporarily secured upon either the outside or the i sido frame of the building und spaced n desired distnnte from the studding corresponding to the thickness ot the ou'tcr or inner cement wall which may he contcmpl-.ited in erecting the structure. The sections b 2 is n View' airev s raced from the studrliirr within the sco e of m invention, by means oi spacing gages indicated at c. sn'id gages formed of two pzirts indicated by the numerals o und 7, catchl formed with a houd indicated :it 8, the adjacent heads terminer un inw-.irdly projecting,y shoulder' indicuted ut il. The gage in formed with its shunks of any desired length to determine the distance itt which it is desired Io space the seetion walls trom the studding, The shnnks or' the gage pass through the section wnll l; :is shown, the bonds ol` the sli-.inks being secured upon the exterior of the section wells in nnysuitzihlc nnnmer, ns by screws indicati-.d ut l0, they section Wzills thus bein: permanently provided with the grigi-s. lctwccn theI divided shrinks ol the gage l lot-:ttc :t suitable screw indicated :it ll provided at its` outer end with ai hond adapted' to he engnged by :t suitable wrench, the inner end of the screw enraging the corres'iondiug stud a.

lli tween the studding I locate n slidi 'fg platte or dizo phrngm indicated ut' rl, 1li-.fiile rcm-zivullle. The diziphrigm muy be temporarily held in plut-c in any suitable manner, as by means of nails e toi-loing guides for ow in hori RULDING CONSTR "UCTION.

l l l l l l l l l 1 l l l l l l l l l the sliding partitions d und serving also, when seid partitions ore removed, to assist in holding the Cement. in plut-e. -i prefer 'plural sectional walls b. d wells ts .indicated :it f secured to the nmrgimt We oi one el the adjacent wide, ho filent overleppi. gf the corresponding edge o1' the o ndjncent will, the Clt-:irs serving to guido and hohl sectional plates or walls in plztce and to insure :il eo-eeting.

provided with upright el ln eorrying out my invention in practical Spor-ation,

one or'more maiis 'o being engmrc studs, together trill-y the slidingpn is filled in to tlv walls and the partitions d, und it will be obvious thnt the cement in plz :e in the chlunbers 5'/ will he of unit' .m thiesness on e-.ieir side o the immo worlof the'building where the exterior and interior ot the trame work provided with n eement null. The eel ment being compressed i `tti/.l @numbers by the rtppli cation of n. suitable wrench to the hond o1' the screws ll, lL will readily he seen that e desired compression oi the cement muy rendi'iy be secured by forcing 'the se"- tionnl plates :ills toward the studdingf `tl'hen the cl'uunhersg have been filled with cement und the eemont compressed in the manner u-hove spccitierl., the cement is ullowed to handen to n deired degree. zitter which tho sectioned wells c muy he rl. wed und rengnged upon the studding or irzune work of the buildingr to extend the cement Walls still iurther, which muy he done simply by loosening,r the screws ll permitting the removal of the seetiomtl wztlls or pinten. lly forming the studdiug 'with screw holes lor the :nf-rows l l properly spaced, it. will readily he seen that the scetioznil walls moy be readily renpplied in a new position. The studding 11i-.ty be formed with these screw holcs before the erection oi the treme work, remlering.)r the uppht-tion oi the seetionnl walls n simple mutter: :is well us securing perfect nnit'ormil y in the thickness ot' the cement wall. While I do not li'uit myself to :my particule r number oi gages und corresponding screw-i tor cngztuing n will section in place, l prefer to employ four of said guges und screwswilh euch section, one set of gages :ind screws heilig locnlcd townrd one mnrginnl edge of the sectionul wall, and the other set of gages und screws located intermediate thc nnn'ginul edges thereof. By the employment oi the upright cleats, it will he observed lh-.it the girey und screws towro'd the marginal edge of one ol' the plates will exert n. compression force upon the ni-.nginnl odge ot the odjnr-cnt scetionul null when the Corresponding screws are tsghloned into place.

lt will l e understood :also tlnit when n given section ot' cement wall hns heen suiliciently hztrdened to stond., the corresponding partition wells t iireiifted to corropplied seetiomi wolle. v The use of the partition walls, it willreadiiy be seen, securles an air iiue or space between' the interior and outer cement Walls when the building is formed with an outer and inner cement lace, a matter o obvious advantage.

1While I have. shown in Fig. 2 the application oi iny improved sectional walls on the interior and exterior of the building spaced essentially at equal distances from the frame Work. yet. it will he understood that the spacing of the exterior and interior sectional walls from the frame Work ofthe building may be at any distance desired` the only difference practically being the difference inlengtll oi' the gages c, the gages being made shorter for the sectional walls applied to the interiorof the haine work where the inner cement wall is desired to be oi less thickness than the outer cement Wall. In case it is desired toiorm the building with only one cement :tace on the interior or exterior thereof, it will readily be seen that the movable partitions Z form a chamber between them andthe corresponding sectional wall 'to receivelhe cement.

I have shown in the drawings a Wooden screw to engage in Wooden studding-l but the invention is equally Well adapted for application to a metal fran work by.

with inwardly projecting spacing gages secured thereto, and attaching devices engaged within said gages, respectively, said gages formed in separable parts.

3.' A section Wall for building construction provided i tively, said gages formed in separable parts, each of said Y parts formed with a headl secured to the section wall.

5. The method of building construction herein described consisting oi engaging removable partitions between the' studding o1' the building, securing upon the frame work of the building' a removable sectional wall provided with spacing gages secured thereto, thereby forming a chamber between the removable partitions and the sectional wall. iilling'sad chamber with ycement and compressing the sectional wall upon the cement within said chamber. f

6. The method of building construction herein described consisting of engaging removable partitionsbetween the studding of the building, securing upon opposite-sidesoi. the frame work of the building removableA sectional walls provided with spacing gages secured thereto, thereby forming chambers between thepartitions and the sectional walls on opposite sides of .said partitions, filling said chambers with cement, and compressing the sectional walls upon the cement within saidchambers. v

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presexu'zeV of two witnesses. z
